NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4
I think this was the mindset of ordinary people living in the age of Hunters.
‘When the gate opens, don’t run wild and stick close to the Hunters!’
These words, which my mother had recited to my ears until they could form a scab, were the creed of Woo Yeonhui, who lived in the era of the Hunters.
To be exact, don’t get caught that you’re Finger King, and stick close to Hunters, pretending to be an ordinary person!
Chijijik—!
Click.
The flickering lights were turned off in time. I escaped from my flashback and watched the chaos in the dark subway.
“Argh-! Don’t step on my foot!!”
“When are the Hunters coming?! It’s already been 50 minutes since the gate opened!”
“Don’t get out of there!”
Not long ago, a gate opened at Hapjeong, in a station that was recently under construction.
Man, what’s going on here? It opened at Dangsan Station a while ago, now it’s Hapjeong,
I exclaimed, recalling the memories of playing hide and seek with the two con artists.
As expected, you should not take the subway. Strange things happen when you take the subway. The root of all evil is public transportation.
My past dream of picking up a foreign car immediately when I had the money to afford it had long since come to nothing.
No, why couldn’t I use money when I had it? I wanted to move out to a safe neighborhood, too. And I wanted to drive a foreign car.
But in reality, I was in a subway that used disposable cards after paying a deposit. It was a good place to hide in the middle of the war…
Subways, the miraculous environment in which the sentence
When I was young
~ came out naturally, had been broken by the appearance of the gates! Even now, it was difficult to find a station that was not under construction.
“This way! Everyone, evacuate this way!”
The government Hunters, who jumped out at the news of the unexpected gate, gathered citizens together and started arranging traffic.
Hunters belonging to the government were usually low-ranked Awakened who chose the life of civil servants.
They didn’t have the discretion to defeat the monsters pouring out of these unexpected gates. The best they could do was traffic control.
Be-beep—! Bee-be-be-beep—!!
Putting on the mask of a good citizen and following the Hunters, I frowned at the sound that pierced my eardrum.
The terminals the Hunters had beeped all the time.
My terminal, too, as a bonus.
This damn junk terminal. It’s turned on again. I will have to change it sooner or later,
I grumbled and turned off the terminal and rolled it into the zip-up pocket of my hoodie.
Then, I took out my cell phone without yielding to the crisis.
Honestly, seeing things like this was fascinating because everyone was insensitive to safety. Look, everyone else besides me was tapping their phones.

I went to the dungeon with a rookie today, but the dignified Finger King stole it and left;;
As you can see in the gleaning Finger King meme, Basil Leather was in this dungeon dropㅠㅠI’m broke againㅠㅠ
Anyway, Basil Leather will be put up for sale in the market soon
Those who have been waiting to match their crocodile skin equipment, feel free
Honestly, I didn’t think much of it because the one who stole it was the universe’s best Finger King. I’m just sad to think that I’ll have to run around again to find my rookie a dungeon ㅠㅠ
When can we go to our dungeon? Can we go?
Lastly, esteemed God-Finger Prince, if you read this post, please meet our guild leader
Our leader nags Gilwon every dayㅠㅠ
I’m afraid of guild members asking about Finger King and dungeon again todayㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I guess I’ll get kicked soon
In the next post, I’ll see you with (@@) instead of (Daybreak)
Farewell, everyone!

ㄴ Choco Milk (Daybreak): It’s because our leader bothered them haha He didn’t give up his dream of becoming the world’s best raid king even at the age of 27
ㄴ Anon: Wow hahahaha FT-nim wouldn’t enter the guild, but he’s obsessed;
ㄴ Anon: As expected of the multi-tasked nutjob of the crazy world;;

Joo Hansol (Rose Shower): But FT-nim doesn’t look at the surroundings when they steal. Daybreak folks, were there any deaths?
ㄴ Geranium (Daybreak): We used an emergency escape kit when raiding dungeons because it was essential, but we would’ve died without it.
ㄴ Rururung (Daybreak): That’s right, we almost died.
… …
Oh, had that been the gate I’d stolen the other day? It was posted a few weeks ago, and there were still comments until recently.
Well, since Rank 1 was involved, it would be a mess everywhere. It was nothing new.

Finger Technique (Independent): Everyone, I went in thinking it was an E-level, but it was a C+ overall. Even with Vitalkit, you still only have one life, so I’m glad you didn’t get into trouble.
I followed the instructions of the Hunters who shouted, “Move quickly,” and wrote the comments word by word.
I didn’t do this because someone had almost died. No.
The bulletin board of the Hunters Association was always buzzing with Hunters who brought various accidents and incidents.
Some Hunters actively promoted their guilds with fixed nicknames, but there were also a lot of aggro seeds who came to exploit the fact that they were anonymous to make a ruckus.
The Finger Technique article above was one of the fieriest ones, and because of that, I deliberately commented using Finger Technique’s name to attract the aggro.
“The one with the pink cap over there! It’s this way, not that way! If you go there, you might get caught up in a wave of monsters!” a Hunter, wearing a government-marked armband, shouted a warning. I quietly put down my phone and quietly obeyed.
The B-level gate opened at Hapjeong Station turned out to be an inner-dimensional gate, not an outer-dimensional gate.
Seeing that the dust created when the dimensions were connected filled the subway station, it seemed that a wave would begin sooner or later.
“「Citizens are currently evacuating! Hunters from the ‘Daybreak’, ‘Research’, ‘Backside’, ‘Rosemary’, and ‘No Name’ Guilds participating in annihilating this gate, please wait for a while」!”
Even while evacuating ordinary citizens, information for Hunters came out at intervals.
[Spreading mid-level gate at Hapjeong Station.
Wave gate.
Estimated gate rank C. Recommended Attribute: Lightning.]
According to the information I checked with the terminal earlier, this gate was C-level.
And according to that broadcast, two of the five guilds mobilized for this gate were the top 5 guilds.
Among them, Daybreak was a guild with the motto “A few elites”, so everyone had a high rank.
Backside also belonged to the top five guilds, so, naturally, everyone played a part.
It was a huge selection, considering that it was an inner-dimensional gate.
If this estimated rank was correct, shouldn’t they be able to beat it with just two guilds without any other guilds?

Finger Technique (Independent): Everyone, I went in thinking it was an E-level, but it was a C+ overall. I’m relieved you didn’t get into trouble.
ㄴ Anon: ???? Why is my brother here…?
ㄴ Anon: Wow, did you directly touch Finger King? Whack
ㄴ Cream (Summer Rain): Awesome lol Is this Finger King?
ㄴ Anon: Isn’t this an impersonator? How many aggros are there per day? Besides, there’s no way my Finger King would use that kind of tone hahahaha
ㄴ Anon: right, right The comment on the last post was more like an elementary school student.
ㄴ Rondo (Daybreak): Ah haha elementary school student, can’t stand it haha our guild leader also resembles one hahahahahahahahahaha
ㄴ Anon: you’ll kick the bucket;;
Geranium (Daybreak): No, someone precious in such a shabby place!!!! Please answer the messenger, Finger King-nim, please.
ㄴ Busan Milk (Daybreak): Coming to the C-level wave today after Finger Prince’s E-level dungeon steal, but,,, It’s okay,,,It’s okay,,, I respect you^^7
ㄴ Vertical (No Name): Is that why the kids came to Hapjeong Station today? Somehow, the kids who won’t come said they were coming hahaha But even so, it was Daybreak whose gate got stolen. Why did Backside come?
ㄴ Whining (Rosemary): They must’ve come because it’s Daybreak. The guild is determined to win first place these days.
ㄴ I Really Like (Paradise): A passing dog would laugh he
ㄴ Ricky (Daybreak): You’re being rude again heh. heh

There had been more comments since the last time I’d checked.
This was a post from last month. Why were there so many people watching it? All of them were salary thieves.
What about the guy in the middle who’d said I looked like an elementary school student? Anyway, the hot topic was Finger King. Wherever I went, impersonators followed.
Finger King’s nickname manipulation was rampant, like Finger King’s aggro. Thanks to this, the Hunters were put in a situation where they didn’t know whether it was real or fake, even if the real Finger King appeared.
Well, it’s fine if I don’t reveal my true identity.
I whistled and read the comments.
“「Information to citizens inside the station. Signs of abnormality have been found in the currently open gate. Citizens, please evacuate quickly. We inform you once again…」”
A deafeningly loud announcement rang in the station.
It was then.
Black dust scattered in the air. A foggy world and fragmented air.
And the shapes of the monsters coming from afar.
[The intermediate gate has been opened.]
[System is activated.]
No, this damn piece of scrap metal is finally turned on again.
I clasped my forehead and pushed my hat down deeply.
Sigh
, I didn’t want to, but I had no choice but to give it a rest.
Inside the station, which vibrated deeply.
In a dark space with the lights off, non-human things opened their red eyes.
